An Epicurean Odyssey through
the Incredible California Wine Country

Known as the preeminent wine producing region in America, Napa Valley is also home to the highest concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants. While oenophiles battle euphoric episodes while traversing vineyard upon vineyard, foodies become downright giddy with thoughts of savoring Napa’s seasonal and sustainably sourced bounty. Combine the two and you have a connoisseur’s dream. This getaway to America’s epicurean playground was designed to immerse you in the unique culture (and viticulture) that is Napa Valley. You’ll discover the science behind food and wine pairings, learn the art of red wine blending, experience a profusion of taste as you intermingle with organic farmers and celebrity chefs, and cook authentic dishes you’ll want to replicate when returning home. Curated for the truly curious, this getaway’s prize is the memories it will generate for years to come!
